Already Mnet has come under fire for its “evil editing,” which viewers believe is trying to portray Krystian as “rude” and dramatic, even though many are coming to his defense.

Similarly, dance mentor Mihawk Back (also known as Baek Koo Young) has been called out for his offensive and misogynistic comments toward Krystian.

But despite the controversy, Krystian is receiving immense praise from netizens for his performances on the show.

Here are six facts you may not know about Krystian.
